Her work there is truly inspiring! Hopefully, as a group we can help her make a difference.

What We Do
African Conservation Fund assists communities in East Africa in
creating economic opportunities that result in improved wildlife
management and wealthier, healthier communities - like the Samburu community (three warrior members shown at left)
at Il'Ngwesi, who created a community-owned ecotourism lodge in north-central Kenya.
How We’re Different
African Conservation Fund provides the bridge between community-based
conservation efforts in East Africa to capacity-building resources in
the U.S. and beyond.
There is no mid-level organization whose sole program is to provide
usable resources—grants, loans, training, exchanges, and communications
products—directly to and for the benefit of communities, with the end
goal being widescale, sustainable, locally based, and independent
conservation of important regions and wildlife.
Working closely with our Nairobi-based partner, the 12-year-old African
Conservation Centre, we identify communities in high-biodiversity
regions and assist those that have the willingness and social-capacity
to create new and lasting conservation projects.
